Hey there, time traveller!

LEGENDARY Winnipeg Blue Bombers coach and GM Cal Murphy is in intensive care in a Regina hospital.
Murphy, who won a Grey Cup as Bombers coach in 1984 and two more as GM in 1988 and 1990, has spent the last years working as a scout for the Indianapolis Colts.
Details of Murphy’s illness are undisclosed but he was conscious and talking Tuesday night.
Murphy, 78, suffered a number of heart attacks before undergoing successful heart transplant surgery in 1992. Murphy spent a good portion of his CFL career in Winnipeg and is a major link to the club’s last run of glory.
Born in Winnipeg but raised in Vancouver, Murphy was an assistant with the B.C. Lions, Montreal Alouettes and Edmonton Eskimos before getting the head job in Winnipeg.
